You could feel like strengthening your body through various forms of exercise today. By being present in your body, you may find it easier to work on establishing a deeper body-mind connection. Perhaps you can try some form of exercise such as yoga, tai chi, or dance that connects you to your spirit today. While moving your body, you may want to notice what thoughts come up for you and how those thoughts impact you physically. If self-defeating thoughts arise for example, mentally scan your body to see where it holds tension. This tightness is your thought pattern manifesting itself physically. You can then breathe into that area and release the physical tension, which will help change your thought pattern. Learning to use your body in this way can bring you a greater sense of awareness about the connection between your thoughts and your physical sensations.

Our bodies hold the key to understanding our emotional and psychological patterns. In our busy lives we tend to ignore our bodies and overlook the role they have in our lives. The bodily feelings we have, however, give our minds a tangible anchor to hold onto what we can use to become more attuned to what is happening to us on a deeper subconscious level. The more we become present to our bodies, the more able we are to connect to these thoughts and feelings and use our breath and various yoga poses and exercise to release them. By strengthening your body-mind connection today, you will attain a higher level of health and mental well-being.
